Chapter 288 - She is Xiao Qiao (3)
A warm feeling came over her and she couldn’t help but smile.
Qiao Lian asked after some consideration, “When did you first realize that I’m Forget Chuan?”
Ever since the two of them had argued over the birth control pill matter, neither of them had brought up the fact that Qiao Lian was Forget Chuan.
But he was aware of the fact that she was training the team at the villa.
Because their relationship had been awkward, she never had the chance to ask.
Now that they were back on friendly terms, her curiosity finally got the better of her.
Shen Liangchuan looked at her for a while before answering, “Some time ago.”
Some time ago?
How long ago exactly was ‘some time ago’?
Qiao Lian’s mouth twitched slightly as she wondered whether this guy was trying to get away with a vague answer.
She blinked and then gasped, as if the truth had suddenly dawned upon her. “Did you… choose me as a surrogate mother… because you knew that I was Forget Chuan?”
She knew that he hated the paparazzi, so he couldn’t have selected her for no other reasons.
However if he had been a fan of Forget Chuan, then there was a possibility…
Qiao Lian immediately looked at him with an elated expression, asking as she blinked, “Are you my fan?”
Shen Liangchuan turned to glance at her and then slowly replied, “No.”
Qiao Lian was stumped.
This man must have never been in love! He had no idea how to sweet-talk a girl!
She pouted and was about to make a sarcastic remark, when he continued, “But probably will be from now on.”
Qiao Lian was baffled into silence.
Suddenly it felt as though she was being covered in sweet syrup.
Sparkles appeared in her eyes, and she was at a loss for words.
Her face was bathed in a rosy shade and she looked away shyly.
Shen Liangchuan smiled, as he took in and registered every of these little movements.
Back in the bedroom at the villa.
They were still feeling awkward because of the phone call earlier that had interrupted them.
Qiao Lian changed into her pyjamas and sat browsing through the Weibo news on her cell phone.
Any news relating the eSports female casters matter went around especially quickly, as the circle was quite small.
She had initially thought that the voting competition between Purple Fairy and her was water under the bridge.
Purple Fairy had criticized Qiao Lian, however the latter had also gotten even by retaliating. As for any unscrupulous means that the other party had used to gain first placing, that was actually none of Qiao Lian’s business.
But contrary to what Qiao Lian had thought…
She realized that her Weibo site had almost been bombed!
Within the short period of just a few hours, a few thousand comments had been posted on her latest voting post.
This had been triggered by another message that Purple Fairy had posted, which implied that Qiao Lian had a lowly character and had resorted to name-calling.
As proof, there was even a screenshot of the private message Qiao Lian had sent Purple Fairy, calling her a ‘retard.’
Purple Fairy’s fans were of course livid when they saw this.
Hence one by one, they had visited Qiao Lian’s site to express their outrage on behalf of their idol.
Qiao Lian was utterly speechless. What a disaster this had turned out to be!
Qiao Lian then went on to check the voting figures and realized that in their fury, Purple Fairy’s fans had instigated their friends and relatives to vote for Purple Fairy, so much that now the two of them were almost on a par.
Qiao Lian was looking at the poll when her cell phone rang. It was Gao Youming, her livestream partner. “Er… Forget Chuan, Purple Fairy has contacted me. She said… she’d like to meet up with you.”
